Hello all - About six months ago we heard from Australians about their forest fires, and even requests to pray for rain.
Now it's our turn. Here in BC on Canada's west, there is a huge forest fire burning out of control near Kelowna, which had been my home town for years until about a year ago. The latest is that 30,000 people, 1/3 of the population, have been evacuated, with 8,000 or so on 1 hour evacuation alert. Over 300 homes have been destroyed. Last night they battled walls of flames 100 meters (400 feet) high; because of the winds, the fire was advancing in some areas at the rate of 100 meters per minute. The fire was started by a lightning strike. There is a website run by a radio station that has up-to-date, accurate reporting, if anyone wants more info. www.castanet.net Prayers for rain most appreciated!
